Guest:

Mike Fairman of the Five Five Five

(This is the pic he sent. Really.)

Three rules:

1. No bike built after 1975
2. No bike over 500cc
3. No more than $500 spent on bike and repairs prior to trip

Tennessee to Oregon. No excuses. Lots of beer. Awesomeness ensues. For this year’s trip (Yes, they’ve done it more than once), it was a bunch of hardtail choppers that they welded up themselves from donor bikes. Austin Vince pointed us in Mike’s direction and we’re so glad he did because this is 555 kinds of awesome.

See what I did there? Yeah, I amuse myself. See more info on the guys at:

Reader Emails:

Here are the pics from Todd’s email about the sidecar rigs he saw and the… cooler-seat… on the Versys. (christ)

NOT STOLEN

Wicker Rig

The Ariel

JESUS, WHY. JUST. WHY?

At least, it holds a drink.

Lastly!

We read an email from Sean about his Yamaha FZ6 Fazer but we didn’t post the pic. Cuz I’m a chucklehead. Sean reminded me about it and so here it is. The Fazer and the cool long term exposure with the girlfriend and flashlight!

“Phasers on line, Captain. OH MY!”
